Our clientele are very loyal. With strong repeat business. It might be said that our customers show the same dedication to us that we show to being “Simply the Best”

We will consider franchise investors for territories ( a country or region) and individual stores for the first five franchised stores.

The territory is exclusively designated to one franchisee and must always be maintained under their control and cannot be sub-franchised to a third party.

We currently have no franchised cafes and both the existing outlets are owned by the company, infinity hotels pvt ltd.

We realize that success in these areas depends on being aware of local customs, tastes and traditions.

For example, each territory has its favorite origin cuisine, eating habits, coffee, and tea and brewing methods with specific quality requirements.

Success also depends on strict adherence to our franchise concept and quality commitment.
